Far Superior. A ferry, a bridge a marina or two and Denmark’s Triangle.Region.

We aren’t sure when it occurred but sometime in the middle of our super sightseeing road trip today we’ve decided it’s time to move on, perhaps before Jørn and Birgit run out of food, perhaps before we wear out our welcome, but mostly because we have had the sort of dream visit that we really don’t want to end. Through the generosity of our hosts, we’ve come to know a small part of this country just about as well as it is possible to know anything in a week and we like it a lot.

Perhaps the photo above is a fitting analogy for our impressions. While other larger, louder brasher countries shout about themselves, telling us they are “Far Superior”, Denmark and it’s people just sit there like a little polished gem waiting to be discovered, quietly confident in itself, themselves and in their own way trusting that they will be discovered only by those who will appreciate them for what they are.

We certainly do, and can only hope we’ve been on the sort of behaviour that will have us allowed back at some time in the not too distant future.

Fading memories

Douglas Adams observed quite rightly that dishwashers wash tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, and video recorders watch tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself.

Had he still been among us, and for some inexplicable reason stumbled upon these pages he may quite rightly have observed that this blog is simply here to remember things for us, thereby saving us that particular bother and allowing us to get on with the next bit of our lives without distraction, our adventures safely tucked away for a time when we may well need to recall them.
